For the past dozen or so years, I've been fortunate enough to see Willie Nelson whenever he's been in town. Most of the times I get free tickets (thanks H!), but on at least four occasions (photos 1 and 2), I got stage passes. The most recent show I saw from the side of the stage was on March 15 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Pegi Young (Neil's wife) and her band opened. Photo #3 is the view of Willie and his "little" sister Bobbie, with Mickey Raphael on harmonica in the background. Photo #4 shows the back of a guy's jacket, who was also backstage with a few of his pals. Nice guys...
